			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The education given during these years of a child&#8217;s life plays a very important role and helps in proper development of children. Early childhood education can be fundamentally termed as &#8220;Learning through play&#8221;. Recent research have shown that early eight years in any children life are crucial time because during this phase their brain develops and much of its &#8216;wiring&#8217; is laid down. The education experiences and relationships a child has along with nutrition can actually affect child mental growth enormously. While good early childhood education helps the brain to develop in healthy ways, improper education or study without play on other hand may affect brain development in different manner. </p>
<p>Recent studies of early childhood education have even shown some remarkable success. It resulting effects on child motivation and learning power last for a long time. Today where education has become very important role to play in a society, it is not right to postpone investing in children education until they become adults, nor wait till they reach school age. In fact early childhood is a vital phase of life in terms of a child&#8217;s intellectual, emotional and social development. Besides this, the most important point to know is that the growth of mental abilities is at an astounding rate and high proportion of learning takes place during this period.</p>
<p>These are very crucial years when children gain a sense of self and learn to associate themselves with the people around them. They develop an understanding and behavior to a certain extent. For this reason it is suggested that early childhood education during these years should be more focused on teaching children about the world around them through play and establish the links. Moreover, many child development experts also agree that play is very important in the learning and emotional development of children. A play can be multi-facet and often helps in educating different skills in children. </p>
<p>Certainly, today it won&#8217;t be wrong to say that early childhood education is the key element that helps in building a god foundation for child&#8217;s educational success. Every child learns habit and form patterns that are not easily changed in later years. If parents and educators can develop productive early education patterns for the children in their charge, those children will be on their way to achieving great educational success. The lack of parental interaction during early childhood can negatively impact a child&#8217;s development. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years now there have been publications of research into the merits of music on early childhood and even in the womb development. Many researches on the subject have hypothesized that listening to certain kinds of music and learning instruments can vastly improve the brain development in children and even make them smarter.</p>
<p>From a scientific point of view a lot of the theories can be backed up. It makes sense that there are a lot of skills involved in learning to play an instrument. It requires the understanding of long sections of music, a complex symbolic notation system, and bimanual control of the instrument. It&#8217;s irrefutable that learning these requires good memory, motor functions and the ability to understand rhythm, timing and a system much like a foreign language. At a young age children&#8217;s brains are like sponges and to add learning such skills early on could only benefit a child.</p>
<p>Slightly more theoretically based is the belief that hearing complex musical pieces can actually improve a child&#8217;s intelligence. There have been numerous researches done into this area with interesting results. One such research project resulted in the buzz word &#8221;Mozart Effect&#8221;. It is a widely heard theory that listening to Mozart can make a child smarter. Mozart is regularly used as the prime example because of the complexity of his pieces.</p>
<p>Whether there is any real merit to these techniques, it is apparent that giving children an artistic output is beneficial to them. There are a variety of educational companies who strive to provide educational tools for children such as easels for art and various musical instruments which suggest there is strong support for artistic development in early learning.</p>
